New York Red Bulls Ii Tickets Promo Code

The globe’s biggest game is finally infiltrating the world’s biggest commercial market. Although hardcore American sports fans are still unwilling to let go of the bruising tackles & breakneck pace of American football, fans have welcomed what has been termed “soccer” in the United States. Millions were won over by the unrelenting drama of Africa’s first World Cup, & they will don their local team’s scarves & cheer until their voices are hoarse. As always, the hip & happening environment of New York is the harbinger of the revolution. And basking in the glitz & glamour associated with New York City, the Red Bulls have charged their way into fans’ hearts. Every performance has flair coursing through, & with a constant parade of top-drawer performers from proven European leagues being brought in, major success for the Red Bulls cannot be far away. The New York Red Bulls are a soccer club based in the New York metropolitan area, playing in Major League Soccer. The team’s headquarters are located in Secaucus, New Jersey, & the team has also represented the New Jersey area in its earlier names.

The club’s name has been subjected to a number of changes since its 1996 inception. Metromedia executives & owners John Kludge & Stuart Subotnick originally changed the name from Empire Soccer Club to the New York MetroStars after the inaugural season. Having roped in brilliant AC Milan midfielder/winger Roberto Donadoni, things looked bright, but the first season ended in disaster. The first home game was ambushed by a Nicola Caricola own-goal in the dying minutes & after the inauspicious start, they never recovered. After current Portugal coach Carlos Queiroz took over, the situation hardly improved for the New York/ New Jersey MetroStars, as they were known then. By 1998, “NY/NJ” wasn’t added to the name, making it one of the only known franchises to play without a local name. Even the acquisition of German legend Lothar Matthaus did little other than attract publicity. Yet for all their domestic shortcomings, The MetroStars did taste international success. They won the international La Manga Cup by defeating Ukrainian giants Dynamo Kyiv & Danish team Viking FK, but it was a distraction from the domestic slump at best. Promise was shown with a US Open Cup Final appearance in 2003. Red Bull GmbH took over the ownership in 2006, & immediately a massive overhaul in the name, colors & logo took place. Although the injection of new cash helped bring in European powerhouses Barcelona & Bayern Munich for exhibition matches to boost attendances, the highest point was a tremendous run to the MLS Cup Final in 2008. The New York Red Bulls have been playing their home games in the Giants Stadium until 2009, but March heralded a shift to Harrison, New Jersey’s Red Bull Arena. Cheap New York Red Bulls tickets for their home games have been in high demand as fans create a raucous intimidating atmosphere under the 25,000-capacity arena’s spectacular semi-translucent roof.

Hans Backe is the new coach of the team. Backe has immediately plunged into the market to sign European players, signaling a shift from the earlier courting of South America stars. With an undefeated preseason, things look bright. His latest signing, French superstar Thierry Henry netted in his first outing. The team has acquired other international stalwarts over the years such as Donadoni, Matthaus, French World Cup winner Youri Djorkaeff, & prolific Aston Villa striker & current captain Juan Pablo Angel in a bid to challenge for top honors, but the efforts have not borne fruit thus far.

Despite heavy investments, the team has not won a major domestic trophy, instead stumbling at the final hurdle twice. In the 2003 US Open Cup Final, they went down 1-0 to Chicago Fire, while they were downed by the Columbus Crew by a margin of 3-1 in the 2008 Final. With an international win in the La Manga Cup in 2004, the team did show a glimpse of their talent & New York Red Bulls tickets holders hope it can be repeated on the domestic circuit.

The famous Empire Supporters Club is the oldest supporters club. Adding more fervor to local support is the Raging Bull Nation, & the newly-started Kearney Army fan club. Passionate fan support is never a problem for the Red Bulls. And they will be hoping to string together a rich run of victories to reward the undying spirit of those with New York Red Bulls tickets.
